We truly enjoy photographing newborns and have decided to run a newborn promotion better known as the “iheartkingston Promo” during the month of April, which is right around the corner!

DETAILS:

  • Newborn sessions must be booked during the month of April
  • Expected due date must be in 2012
  • Session should take place in the first 14 days of life (The ideal time to photograph a newborn is when they are between 5-7 days old, while they are still in their sleepy phase. Photographing them at this age allows us to capture all of those dreamy little newborn shots).

SESSION FEE: $89(reg. $240)

  • Up to 2 hour newborn session
  • Artistic editing of your images
  • 15-20 images on a private online gallery to choose from
  • 25 Custom Birth Announcements printed on premium card stock (reg. $55)  Additional announcements may be purchased in sets of 25

Within one week of the session you will receive a sneak peek on our blog. Within 2-3 weeks following the session you will be notified, via email, with the details on how to view your images on a private online image gallery. The image gallery will contain up to 20 fully edited images. Should you wish to purchase prints from the images in your gallery, you will have that option available.

Below is a small sampling of the announcements we offer.

 

Are you ready to participate in this Promotion???

We hope you are interested or know someone that might be interested!

Please check our availability here (not viewable on mobile devices) and to reserve your session click here.  Feel free to email us at ray@kingston19photography.com should you have any questions.

Fine Print:

The session will take place at your home and additional charges may apply if your location is more than 25 miles outside Orange County. Please be aware that the iheartkingston promo is strictly for newborns and does not include photographing any images of siblings or parents.  Options are available should you wish to include siblings or parents.

We look forward to hearing from you and if you know someone that might be interested in this promotion, please forward this information to them!

pictured: the first NOW WHAT Photography Workshop Class

(special THANK YOU to Melissa and Lillian)

It’s been a little more than a week since we held our first photography workshop and it was a huge success. We were very lucky to have such great students that were so eager to learn!

Lets go back in time circa 2007, I got a my first digital SLR (big fancy camera) so I could take better photos. I thought to myself, simply set my camera on “Auto” and the camera would do the rest. Unfortunately, the results weren’t always what my eyes saw or how I wanted my photos to look. Here I was with this nice camera that I knew could take great photos so…NOW WHAT? It was time to take control and learn as much as I could about how to manually set my camera’s settings to get the perfect exposure…which was the “look” I wanted in my photos. I read books, online articles, watched videos, attended a couple workshops, and most importantly spent many hours practicing.

I’m here to say that 4 years later I’m still learning and still practicing. I really wanted to share what I’d learned over the last few years with those who also wanted to take control of their cameras. It was truly a pleasure to meet all of you and I hope you all learned lots of new ways to control your camera.

Congrats: to the 3 attendees who won a Lens shot glass

Remember to practice, practice, practice =) It’s not about having the most expensive gear…your camera is merely a tool and you are the artist behind it. So go out and have fun… “don’t take pictures, create images”!!!
